Depends on where, these are the figures for Germany only:

Amiga CD32       25,000
Amiga CDTV       25,800
Amiga 500     1,081,000
Amiga 500+        79,500
Amiga 600        193,000
Amiga 1000        27,500
Amiga 1200        95,500
Amiga 2000       124,500
Amiga 3000          8,300
Amiga 4000/030    7,500
Amiga 4000/040    3,800
Amiga 3000(T)    CA.6000
Amiga 3000(T)- 040 (030 CPU absent)  CA.  80

This shows a very different top 3:
1. A500
2. A600
3. A2000

Interesting numbers, can you provide your source for these numbers (not that I doubt you, but would like to know where the numbers came from)?

It would be interesting if similar breakdown of sales numbers could be found for the other major Amiga markets to get a fairly accurate picture of total sales World wide.  I guess I am a statistic freak too, as I love to see stuff like this if it can be verified and confirmed.

Edit:  It is probably already well known, but I can see and vaguely remember the disappointment and resistance of many Amiga users to upgrading from their A500 and specially A2000's to the A3000D and AmigaOS2.0 when it was released.  The hardware was an improvement, but with no significant changes to the Amiga chipset and display capabilities, many Amiga users then could see the handwriting on the wall that the Mac and PC's would soon catch up and surpass the Amiga's display capabilities and were angry with Commodore for not doing the engineering and development to keep the Amiga years ahead of the rest of the competition, where it had been since it's release in 1985.  So it is no surprise that sales numbers for the A3000 are very low compared to the A500 and A2000.
